So, like, its totally cool if folks don’t see a romantic implication between Pearl and Rose from “Rose’s Scabbard” and if they think its some other kind of relationship. It’s totally their right to see it any sort of way. But I just find some of the arguments against it weird ‘cause I keep seeing stuff like people saying it obviously isn’t romantic because its clearly a “knight devoted to their Lady” sort of thing

and its weird to me because there’s absolutely no reason why it couldn’t be both? Like, there’re not mutually exclusive situations and in fact a knight who is devoted to serving the crown or what have you who also falls in love with the person they’re devoted too is a pretty common plot.

I’m not saying anyone has to see it this way, I’m just perplexed by some of the phrasing of posts that are like “it can’t be that because its this" when there’s no reason it can’t be both. So it doesn’t really ‘disprove’ anything.
